Back at the beginning of May artist Vivien Blackburn issued a challenge, to sketch skies from observation while she was away travelling.
I took up the challenge and decided to sketch the sky from my studio window each day in pastels. Quite enjoyable although in typical Murphy's Law fashion I then had the same clear blue sky every day!
All pastel on watercolour paper:


Vivien is going to post all the artists who took part in the project, so I'll add a link when it's live.

I hope the Open Studio was a runaway success?
Sounds like a great idea for a project - I might have to do something similar :) Yours look lovely!
Indeed, Murphy and "that law" turns up everywhere!
I've done mine, but am just going to try to capture a rainbow before it turns into a downpour!
Nice pieces, Tina. Watch out though -- skies are addictive! :-)
